This is the first time for me to learn about the term tallow. Did you know about this? According to wikipedia (in italics), Tallow is a rendered form of beef or mutton fat, processed from suet. It is solid at room temperature.

Unlike suet, tallow can be stored for extended periods without the need for refrigeration to prevent decomposition, provided it is kept in an airtight container to prevent oxidation. In industry, tallow is not strictly defined as beef or mutton fat. In this context, tallow is animal fat that conforms to certain technical criteria, including its melting point. It is common for commercial tallow to contain fat derived from other animals, such as lard from pigs, or even from plant sources.

Be sure to check if the food item you’ve ordered has reached its expiration date when you pick up your food.
